One trend I have noticed over the past 10 years is that the "completist" collector is going the way of the Dodo. By completist, I mean collectors that had to have the entire "set" of whatever. In my view, this applies across all the hobbies and genres I collect. Not just sports.
Now, collectors are more frequently focusing on the big names, classic covers (in comic books), moonwalkers only (in space autographs)... the "hot" item de jour. Once the completists are nearly gone, this will leave many previously obscure, yet highly desirable, items in the dust.
